I love your interviews, but if you edit out the ‘yeah’s and ‘mmm-hmm’s you say while the author is talking, will really polish your sound.
It’s always wonderful to hear about the process that horror authors use to write their works. It’s even better getting to know their personal story. Rachel does an amazing job digging into questions with authentic curiosity that reveal the deeper reasons why these authors are writing their stories and understanding who they are for.
Great option for book readers who lean toward the darker side of novels. I’m thrilled that Rachel has started this new adventure, and I’ll definitely be along for the ride. Five stars. Keep up the great work. Great first guest author.
